He is a member of Transnistria's parliament and an ally of fellow party-member Yevgeni Shevchuk who since December 2005 has been speaker of parliament and the country's second most influential politician after president Igor Smirnov.
Burla was born in 22 November 1957 in the Storojineţ district of the Cernăuţi Romanian-speking region in Ukraine[3]. He is one of the country's best known economists. For most of the time since Transnistria declared independence in 1990, he has worked as the head of the Economics Department at T.G. Shevchenko University in Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria. While at the university, he headed work on the research and publication of the Atlas of Pridnestrovie.
